Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure power is disconnected before installation.

Mounting: Secure driver to a solid surface using provided brackets, ensuring adequate ventilation.
Electrical Connection: Connect AC input wires (L, N, PE) to mains supply via terminal block.
LED Connection: Connect LED module wires (+/-) to output terminals, observing polarity.
Dimming Connection: If used, connect dimmer wires (V+, DIM, DIM-) to appropriate terminals.
Secure all connections and replace cover before applying power.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure correct voltage and load matching to prevent damage.

First-Time Setup

After installation, configure output current before powering on.

Set Output Current: Use dip-switches inside housing to select desired current (e.g., 350mA, 700mA, 1050mA).
Verify Load: Ensure connected LED load matches driver's rated output current and voltage range.
Power On: Apply AC power; check LED illumination.
Dimming Test: If connected, adjust dimmer to verify smooth operation from 0% to 100%.

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper load. Incorrect current setting may damage LED modules.

Controls and Connections

Terminal Block Layout (from left to right): AC INPUT (L, N, PE), DC OUTPUT (+V, -V), DIMMING (V+, DIM, DIM-).

Dip-Switch Settings: Located under cover. SW1-3 for current selection (refer to label chart).

Dimming Modes: Jumper selectable between 0-10V, PWM, or Resistance dimming.

Indicator LED: Green LED indicates normal operation; flashing indicates fault condition.

Dimming Operation

Supports smooth dimming from 100% down to 1% (minimum dimming level).

Ensure dimmer compatibility (0-10V, PWM, or Resistance).
Connect dimmer wires to DIM terminals (observe polarity for 0-10V).
Set dimming mode jumper if required (default: 0-10V).
Power on; dimmer control should adjust light output linearly.

Note: Some LED modules may have a minimum dimming threshold. For no dimming, leave DIM terminals open or short DIM to V+ for 100% output.

Protection Features

Built-in safeguards ensure safe operation and longevity.

Overload Protection: Automatically reduces output current if overload detected.
Short Circuit Protection: Shuts down output in case of short; auto-recovery after fault removal.
Over Temperature Protection: Thermal foldback reduces output if temperature exceeds safe limit.
Surge Protection: Withstands up to 2kV surge on input lines.

Tip: Ensure mounting surface allows for heat dissipation to avoid triggering thermal protection.

Maintenance & Care

Periodic inspection recommended for long-term reliability.

Visual Inspection: Check for physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections every 6 months.
Cleaning: Use dry cloth to remove dust; do not use liquids or solvents.
Ventilation: Ensure no obstructions around housing that may impede airflow.

CAUTION! Disconnect power before any inspection or cleaning. Do not open sealed housing as it voids warranty and IP rating.

Regulatory Information

CE Compliant: Meets European Low Voltage and EMC directives. RoHS Compliant: Free of restricted hazardous substances. ENEC Approved: European safety certification. Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality standards. For technical support or warranty claims, contact V-Tac customer service or visit www.v-tac.eu.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No output, LED off	No input power	Check mains supply, fuses, and wiring connections.
LED flashing	Protection triggered	Check for short circuit, overload, or excessive temperature.
Dimming not working	Incorrect wiring or mode	Verify dimmer connections and jumper setting.
Output flickering	Load mismatch or instability	Ensure LED load is within specified voltage range.
Overheating	Insufficient ventilation or overload	Improve airflow; verify load does not exceed 80W.

Reset: Disconnect power for 30 seconds to reset protection circuits.
